OLED touchscreen and lighter body

Apple has introduced its redesigned MacBook Pro. According to Engadget, the new model features an OLED touchscreen and weighs around three pounds (1.36 kg).

This marks a reversal of Apple's long-standing stance on touchscreens in Mac laptops. The company had previously not brought touchscreens to MacBooks.

Weight and portability

At around three pounds, the weight points to a significant change in the MacBook Pro's portability. However, the source text does not include details such as screen size, chip model, price or release date.

What it means

A touchscreen MacBook has long been an anticipated development. Apple's move can be seen as a response to rivals that have made touchscreens standard in the laptop market.
